Speaker Resources

General

Emails are going out to speakers and the general information from those is also documented here.

Reminders

Update your session title and description

As you are working on your talk outline, if you would like to modify your session name or details, please log in and edit the session directly.

Check your day and timeslot

We had some last minute shuffling of sessions. Please double check your day and timeslot.

Use your speaker code to get your ticket

You should have received a speaker code in your email on Feb 16. If you have not already purchased a ticket, please use your speaker code to get your ticket ASAP. We're working to finalize catering and attendance numbers and don't want you to get left out!

Get feedback

As you prepare, please email [email protected] with any general questions. It is common for good speakers to share their presentations with others before they give them — either in the form of slides, slides with notes, or a full run through. If you would like someone to bounce ideas off of, contact Cathy (YesCT).

Finishing up your slides

Find yourself with too much to say? Don’t want to overload your slides or your audience? You could publish a timely blog post with more details. You can reference the post in your talk and list it as a resource.

Practicing your talk

TL;DR—Practice your talk in a room by yourself, out loud, from start to finish without stopping. Record it. Listen to it later, and make corrections to your slides or notes while listening to the recording.
